Synopsis

Optically thick accretion disk around a Kerr black hole. XSpec model.

Optically thick extreme-Kerr disk model based on the same tranfer-function used in the xslaor Kerr disk-line model. Local emission is simply assumed to be the diluted blackbody. See Laor 1991, ApJ, 376, L90 for explanation of the transfer function. See Ebisawa et al. 2003, ApJ, 597, 780 for examples of using this model.

This is an additive model component.

xskerrd Parameters

Number	Name	Description
1	distance	distance (kpc)
2	tcolteff	spectral hardening factor, Tcol/Teff. Should be greater than 1.0, and considered to be 1.5-1.9 for accretion disks around a stellar-mass black hole. See, e.g., Shimura and Takahara, 1995, ApJ, 445, 780
3	m	mass of the central object (solar unit)
4	mdot	mass accretion rate (1e18 g/s)
5	incl	disk inclination angle (deg; 0 for face-on)
6	rin	inner radius (units of GM/c**2). 1.235 is the last stable orbit.
7	rout	outer radius (units of GM/c**2)
8	norm	K; normalization factor. should be fixed to 1.
